Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers located at the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, use the instructions below.

1.Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it toward you.

2.Remove the bracket cover. Insert the eraser end of a pencil in the cover notch. Apply slight downward pressure to the notched side of the cover while swinging it off.

3.Using a screwdriver or %" hex driver, turn the roller adjustment screw on each side to raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the adjustment screws and rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws It may take several turns of the roller adjustment screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.

To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.

4.Turn the brake foot clockwise until it is firmly against the floor to keep the refrigerator from rolling forward when the freezer door is opened.

5.Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both roller adjustment screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both adjustment screws the same amount.

6.Replace the bracket cover. Place the bracket cover into the outer edge, swing the cover toward the cabinet and snap it into place.

7.Replace the base grille.

REFRIGERATOR USE

The temperature controls are located at the top front of the refrigerator or freezer compartments.

IMPORTANT:

When the power is on, the temperature display shows the actual temperature of the compartment.

Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly

when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

Temperature Controls

For your convenience, the temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown.
